Accurately predicting staffing needs is a crucial part of a manager’s job. Discuss why predicting staffing needs is important and how third-party reimbursement is tied to staffing needs. What is the relationship between nursing hours, staffing mix, and quality of care? How does a nursing shortage factor into predicting these needs? Why is it important to consider diversity when staffing a unit? As staffing becomes more critical to each unit, compare and contrast how centralized and decentralized staffing affects the unit.

Identify at least two regulatory bodies, and your state’s nurse practice act, that specify certification, licensure requirements, or scope of practice for your specialty. Discuss the way these influence the educational requirements and experiences for your specialty. Advanced practice registered nurses must incorporate the APRN consensus model in their response. In your response to peers, discuss a specific guideline or change imposed by a regulating body or industry regulation and explain how this affects your daily practice. Cite at least one source to support your response. Use less than 5 years of articles to support

Abby is the Quality Improvement Officer for a service that provides residential care, respite care, daycare, community nursing and home care packages, palliative care, and dementia-specific. Her role includes managing the facility’s legal and ethical compliance, ensuring AHPRA registration is up to date, and maintaining collaborative and effective relationships between all designations within the facility. Linda, a care staff employee, comes to work with symptoms of gastroenteritis. She knows that if she stays at home her work area would be understaffed. After a few hours on duty, Linda begins to feel weak and unsteady. She reports this to her team leader who sends her home immediately. That evening several residents show symptoms of gastroenteritis and one resident becomes seriously unwell and is transferred to the hospital. The next morning the facility is placed in lockdown. Abby receives a report from Linda’s team leader regarding the incident the previous day when she sent Linda home. Abby believes that because of Linda’s failure to comply with the organization’s policies and procedures regarding infection control, the service has breached its duty of care to provide clients with a safe and healthy environment.

This phase of reflection is an insight into my interview with the clinical nurse manager and how the CPE objectives were attained. Based on the interview I had with the clinical nurse manager, I learned of the different tasks and responsibilities she must accomplish each day for the smooth running of her office ranging from patient care, administrative meeting, and management of the unit. Each day is different with its own challenges. Some days are full of meetings while some days are no meetings at all. I was opportune to observe how she carry out some of her functions for the day, her roles, and responsibilities. It was amazing seeing her going through the hospital policy and some of the clinical policies on procedures on her unit and updating areas that needed attention for revision.

The CPE activities were much, however the materials in the course and the task covered, gave me a clear understanding of a nurse executive roles and responsibilities. Also, not just any graduate nurses can hold such a position, there are also advanced certifications for nurse executives to qualify for the position.  Some of the tasks they engaged in include reviewing and reversing policies, implementing new policies and procedures when necessary, firing and overseeing the hiring process, and developing business plans and budgets for the nursing unit. Some of the essential skills needed for the job include effective communication both written and verbal skills coupled with good leadership and technical skills.

 

Julie, an 11½-year-old girl, and John, a 14-year-old boy, are siblings who had a physical examination for school. Julie grew over 3 inches in height and John grew about half an inch in last year. “She’s almost as tall as I am, and I’m older than she is,” John says. That’s not right. I’m the shortest of my group of friends. “Am I destined to be short?”
When the nurse assesses Julie and John, what differences in physical growth and development do you think she’ll find?
What information should the nurse include in her response to John’s concern about his height?
